Alain, I meant to answer you on your previous post of the similar nature, but didn't have time to work through an example (and still don't before May 13 ?). If you can determine the true time to 1s from your camera time, or have faith in the accuracy of the elset, or verify it against current observations, you can determine the track speed very accurately with Ted's ObsReduce. A few seconds error (or more) changes the track very marginally. Using the times you can estimate, and the pixel coordinate method of Obsreduce, it will detemine the corrections from the elset to your points, so you can compute when it "ought to be" at those positions. This should allow you to determine the times as accurately as the image permits, and even compute flash intervals spanning several images. /Björn 2012/4/29 <alain.figer@club-internet.fr> > > > ... > > Although each maximum can be located quite accurately on the satellite's track registered on the photos, the period accuracy is limited by the fact the time of each photo is given at the second only by the clock of my Canon EOS 600D camera. It would need to know the time of each photo at the tenth of second. -- ---------------------------------------- Björn Gimle, COSPAR 5919 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m Phone: +46 (0)8 571 43 312 Mobile: +46 (0) 704 385 486 _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
